The Gallup-Sharecare Well-Being Index tracks daily the percentage of Americans who, reflecting on the day before they were surveyed, say they experienced a lot of happiness and enjoyment without a lot of stress and worry versus the percentage who say they experienced daily worry and stress without a lot of happiness and enjoyment. Daily results are based on telephone interviews with approximately 500 national adults; margin of error is ±5 percentage points.

Americans continue to be nearly twice as likely to want to lose weight (51%) as to say they are making a serious effort to do so (26%). This discrepancy between will and reality has generally existed for the past decade.
